Re: Rambling thoughts about the US military

People will trade with us regardless of any military presence. Do you actually think Japan trades with us because we have troops in Okinawa. And if it is a pre-requisate, why do they trade with Europe who has no forces in the region.

You're right, they would trade with us if we weren't there. They would not, however, trade with us if they were invaded by North Korea, an event which our presence certainly helps to prevent.
